Applying IN to mobile communications services beyond telephony
Ron Crocker · 2002
Many different communications systems exhibit surprising commonalities, and wireless communications systems are no different in this aspect. The author discusses how a reference architecture for communications systems, the intelligent network, can be applied to non-telephony wireless communications systems such as integrated cellular and dispatch, two-way paging and cellular digital packet data. The net result is that the IN reference architecture substantially applies to the wireless systems, however significant changes are required to better support the needs of wireless systems.
